中国采购逾84万吨美国大豆，10至11月付运

中国买家7月31日采购了至少14船、总计逾84万公吨美国大豆，计划于2024年10至11月付运1。其中至少8船从美国墨西哥湾沿岸码头付运，另有6船从太平洋西北地区港口启运1。这次采购是中国自6月底恢复购买美国大豆以来，7月规模最大的单日采购之一1。

交易商透露，中国近期采购的美国大豆总量已超过300万公吨，参与采购的买家均为政府机构1。根据此前承诺，中国将在2028年前每年采购至少2500万吨美国大豆1，同时承诺购买至少170亿美元的美国农产品1。此外，中国储备粮管理总公司7月31日拍卖了50万4000公吨进口大豆，约一半成交1。

Chinese buyers made a significant procurement on July 31, acquiring at least 14 shipments totaling over 840,000 tonnes of U.S. soybeans scheduled for delivery between October and November 2024 1. This represents one of the largest single-day purchases since China resumed buying American soybeans in late June 1.

The transaction involves shipments departing from multiple U.S. ports, with at least eight vessels loading from Gulf Coast terminals and six from Pacific Northwest facilities 1. Traders indicated that Chinese purchases of American soybeans have exceeded 3 million tonnes in recent weeks, with government agencies as the primary buyers 1. This activity aligns with China's commitment to purchase at least 25 million tonnes of U.S. soybeans annually through 2028, as part of a broader agricultural trade agreement valued at no less than $17 billion 1.

Domestically, China National Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Corporation (COFCO) held an auction on July 31 for 504,000 tonnes of imported soybeans, with approximately half of the inventory sold 1. The corporation plans to conduct another auction on August 5 for an additional 501,000 tonnes of imported soybeans 1.
